Lotus, Vibesquad

[FUNKTRONICA] Lotus does a little bit of everything, and it does it well enough to simultaneously keep you grooving and guessing. Notorious for its dance-inducing hooks and rhythms, the group also seamlessly shifts from funk to rock to electronica at the drop of a hat and without missing a beat. The occasional hip-hop sample and random video game squiggle are always welcome, and you never know when an organ might make an appearance. You’re always left wondering what other tricks are up their collective sleeves. It all seems very weird and complicated on the surface, yet the songs are performed with grace and style as though it is the easiest thing in the world. It makes for a damn good time, so go get yourself some.
